about bushsecrecy.org

BushSecrecy.Org is a project of Public Citizen, a national, nonprofit consumer advocacy organization founded in 1971 to represent consumer interests in Congress, the executive branch and the courts. Public Citizen has long fought for openness and democratic accountability in government; for the right of consumers to seek redress in the courts; for clean, safe and sustainable energy sources; for social and economic justice in trade policies; for strong health, safety and environmental protections; and for safe, effective and affordable prescription drugs and health care. With BushSecrecy.Org, Public Citizen seeks to advance these goals by documenting, on an ongoing basis, the Bush Administration's efforts to draw a cloak of secrecy over the operations of government; by informing the public of the efforts of those who are attempting to contest the government's secrecy initiatives; and, we hope, by stimulating public interest in secrecy issues and rallying public support for the kind of open government that is consistent with the best traditions of our republic.
